I just went to the qc post office to apply for a postal ID. cedula is part of the requirement. And so I went to the main hall to get one. I was surprised on how much I am going to pay for my cedula, P149.00!

Cedula is a community tax certificate that you pay for being resident in a certain city or municipality. That is as far as I know.

This wasn’t the first time that I’ll be getting one. Way back college years, when I am still a working student, I only paid P25.00 pesos. Just November of last year, I paid only P35.00 in our baranggay hall.

I told the girl, “nevermind” then walked away.

The guy before me just paid P55.00 for his cedula and he wasn’t even asked on how much he is earning.

I assume that she have asked me because she might think that I am earning a lot more. Darn! We are all just working. What difference does it make? I also feel tired working.

I just wished there is range on how much the cedula should cost or how the computation would be.

I’ll just get my cedula from our baranggay hall.

It is just a big deal for me. I really don’t know much is the PROPER amount to pay. But a hundred pesos a big amount especially nowadays that everyone is in crisis.

Too much irregularities! I really can’t stand it.

PS. In case you know how much the cedula really costs, don’t hesitate to comment here. This could help enlighten people like me who doesn’t know about such things.

Hi jhoy, as far as I know nakalagay yun sa mismong cedula. Yung computation is depending how much yung salary ng individual annually. For every one thousand peso is equivalent to one peso. Kaya if your salary is PhP150,000 per year, PhP150.00 PLUS PhP5.00 that goes to the issuance service/cedula fee. Total charge is PhP155.00.

sorry friend, it might be unfair for you being asked how much you pay but being honest is just one of those small things you can do to contribute to our country. At least you will have the right to complaint na. never mind the other person not asked, ganito kasi lagi nangyayari satin. “bakit ako lang, bakit sya hindi”. no offense.

There is a bracket on how much you are going to pay. I think for working class earning minimum salary, the rate is 1PHP per 1000PHP. But for professionals earning more, its higher. The last time i get my cedula was last year, I remember paid almost 1,000 PHP. It was a funny experience🙂.

Later this afternoon, I went to our City Hall and I was gonna get a cedula as a requirement to getting an NBI. They select their victims randomly. Lady before me was asked to pay 20 pesos. The other ppl before me weren’t given a form where I must state my name, address, gross income and job. So i put 15,000 a month. I was asked to pay 195. So the guy in the window started creating the receipt when I changed my mind, I said..balikan ko na lang then walked away. The guy then followed me and wldnt let me out telling me he’s already created the receipt..then again I said balikan ko na lang. I went to Muntinlupa City Hall and applied for my NBI. For the first time ever…for the 5th time that I applied for an NBI, I got a HIT. and I was asked to come back on March 10, that’s like 18 days from now. My name and surname is very very unique, so I don’t think someone has the same name as mine. Hit means you either have the same name as someone else or you have a derrogatory record, which I definitely don’t have. I’m thinking…does that guy from Las Pinas City hall has anything to do with this…

No , People from the Cedula Department can’t modify information on your NBI details. People inside the NBI Offices. [Even Satalite Offices] can. But i gues no one will do that intentionally. If hit ka, That means may kapangalan ka. And it would show kung ilan. just ask the person na kausap mo the time na sinabi sayo na hit ka. and if, One of those people e may record, Then that’s another thing.

Regarding CEDULA. PLease people of the nation!. Please migrate. We feed our Government which should be the other way around

Corruption in our country is happening not only in the government offices but also in private companies in many different ways. I have seen it everywhere here in our country so stop and look again all the things you are doing maybe it is some form of corrpution but only in less degree:)

same happens to me… I was procuring requirements needed for the job offered so practically, I am not working yet. Not earning yet. So when I asked for a cedula at QC hall, they asked me for 66 pesos which is not justifiable.. I had one last year and paid for only 5.00 so I wonder what has been happening when I am asleep??? LOL. Obligatory ata ang 66 na yun… Kainis.. buti na lang may extra ako pera bukod dun sa mga kinukuha kong documents kundi, uuwi akong nakikiusap sa driver kasi mawawalan ako pamasahe.. Darn.

i agree with BIR comiz Kim Henares to scrap the cedula..it.s rally one form of corruption in city halls,what is unfair for most of us who has no “kapit” in LGU, will have no choice but to pay exactly base on how much we earn..but the fact is, those people inside the city hall themselves or others who are relatives of those working in cityhalls can get a cedula for just 5 pesos!!

Our company is requiring us only now to get a CTC for us to pass on to them for BIR nga daw. We were instructed to wait for the BIR Form 2316 kasi the amount that will be paid getting our CTC will be based on the gross annual income. So I think kahit na walang work currently ang kukuha ng cedula, pero meron last year, dun pa rin ibe-base yung amount that you have to pay since the 2316 is for the previous year and not the current calendar year.
